Bio
In 2019, I transitioned from a career in politics and government in Washington D.C. to a career in real estate here at home in Connecticut. Known for being a straight-shooter, my goal is to provide clients with both creative vision and the realities that come with doing business in our region.
While a student at The George Washington University I worked on multiple political campaigns and interned in press offices in both the United States House of Representatives and the United States Senate. I graduated with a double major in economics and political science.
My career in politics continued after college – I worked as a research analyst on a presidential campaign during the 2016 election cycle. While in Washington, I later worked as a research analyst for two government affairs firms and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce – all three serviced Fortune 500 companies across a variety of industries. These roles honed my research skills and my ability to distill complex jargon into digestible products for clients. During Connecticut’s 2018 election I served as Deputy Communications and Policy Director on a gubernatorial campaign -- traveling 20,000 miles around the state and gaining familiarity with a variety of public officials.
Over the past 5 years of working in the real estate industry I have discovered that real estate “sales” is more than selling – it involves consensus building with state and municipal stakeholders, assembling a team of industry experts, knowledge of state and municipal regulations, proper attention to optics, and most importantly – asking questions that drive the client to a decision that best suits their needs. My clients range from small manufacturers to institutional investors.
Out of the office you can find me fly-fishing in Connecticut’s rivers and streams or behind an easel.
